When using touch and the digital pen on the Surface Book in sketch-pad mode you lose access to your keyboard shortcuts. بث مباشر 365 I use an app called Toolbar Creator which lets me build a little toolbar with a bunch of shortcuts that I can tap on. اليورو 2022 Simple things like copy and paste, undo are now far easier than trying to right-click with the pen or find it in a menu. Functions in Cubase like bringing up the mixer, duplicating, adding tracks are so much easier if you have them in a toolbar. I believe this should be something that Windows does natively – but no one ever listens to me. مكان يورو 2022

The Toolbar Creator is a vital utility for anyone using touch or the pen on Surface products. You can download it here:

Hi Robin – useful tool…. but still doesn’t seem to be able to address the problem I have:
I’m using a touchscreen all-in-one PC (so no pen or stylus). I’ve used both freeware on-screen mouse controls, and now the Microsoft one in the latest insider builds. The problem with these is that they will not allow you to use the on-screen keyboard CTRL key to drag copy items. I tried using a CTRL hot key using this tool, but this does not work either.
I don’t suppose you’ve come across any combination of tools that will allow you to drag an item with CTRL held down using only touch screen controls?
It should be able to do it. I demo’ed it here on the Surface Pro 3 last year – https://youtu.be/uLcUyfE_uPs?t=6m10s – it’s in the setup of the shortcut where it acts as a toggle rather than a command. However there hasn’t been any development on it for a while so it may not be working like it did. I don’t have it to hand to check out myself at the moment.
Amazing – thanks Robin – that’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s also really useful for selecting multiple files (I know W10 has the ‘tick boxes’ but I don’t find those 100% consistent). Being able to ‘toggle on’ CTRL means you can tap select multiple files with ease!
I’m now thinking what I can do with this within Sonar – looking at many of the built in keyboard shortcuts and starting to build my own simplified menu bar just for the tools I use all the time….
I’m wondering if I could set up slider controls on the toolbar for + – and [ ] to control onscreen faders / knobs (I find the rotary knobs are particularly difficult to control by touch commands)??
An exciting world of possibilities to explore this weekend – thanks again!
